Bend, OR... "Jordan Ramis's growth into the Bend market is due, in part, to the success of our existing clients in that market, who will be well-served by a Central Oregon office. We also look forward to serving a wider range of clients throughout the state," said shareholder Steve Shropshire, who will be spearheading the new Bend office. Jordan Ramis has been active in the Bend community for many years. Among the plethora of activities, the firm's favorite is participating in the ever-popular Pole Pedal Paddle. Steve has worked and vacationed in Central Oregon for years and is delighted to have relocated to Bend with his family.
